Lately I've been working on Halloween related projects. I spent some time carving these Yoda and R2D2 pumpkins to decorate my front steps. However, since putting them on my steps a squirrel has eaten one of Yoda's ears and his upper lip.
My neighbors have hired my hands to make their 3 yr old daughter a polar bear costume. I used two different white furs for contrast on the belly and ears as well as a cute floral fabric to line the hood. I just finished the last few touches on it today (ice-like buttons and black claws). Tomorrow I will unveil it for the little girl. I really hope she likes it.
For my own costume, I plan on being a 1960's stewardess. I had most of the clothing items for the costume (red pencil skirt and red blazer). I found a charming silk scarf with different worldly destinations painted on it to tie around my neck. I am making a red hat and will be adding gold trim to the blazer. Above are drawings of the pilot wings I plan to make out of plastic which I will hand out to other special Halloween guests. The pilot wing design comes from a vintage pair I found online that was tagged as either being the wings for enlisted airmen or a special set of wings made to give out to sweethearts (which I liked). I chose the design for authenticity as well as for the fact that it didn't advertise any one airline.
